Earthing Applications-Copper Clad Steel Stranded Wire

Basic characteristics of Copper Clad Steel Stranded Wire

Copper-plated steel strand is a new type of composite material with high-quality low carbon steel as the core and processed by copper plating.
 It is widely used as ground conductor in electric power, communication, petrochemical and other industries, and also has important applications in modern buildings.

Application 
1.Lightning Grounding System ‌ : Copper plated steel strand is used in a lightning grounding system that effectively guides the lightning current underground, protecting buildings and their equipment from lightning damage ‌
2.  Grounding lead wire and grounding body connection ‌ : In building lightning protection systems, copen-plated steel strand is often used to lead wire and grounding body connection to ensure that lightning current is quickly and safely introduced into the ground ‌
3. Support structure ‌ : In some lightning protection system designs, copper plated steel strands can also be used as support structures to provide the necessary physical support for devices such as lightning rods

advantage
1.  Excellent electrical conductivity ‌ : Copper-plated steel strands conduct electricity better than traditional materials, with lower resistance and better conductivity, effectively reducing electrical energy loss ‌ .
2. Excellent corrosion resistance ‌ : Copper plating effectively prevents oxidation and corrosion, especially suitable for use in wet or corrosive environments, ensuring long-term stable use.
3. High strength and toughness ‌ : Due to its high strength and good tensile properties, copper plated steel strands are able to withstand high loads in construction works and maintain structural stability.

4. Reliability and durability ‌ : Copper plated steel strand has a long service life, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, improving the reliability and economy ‌1 of building systems.
